The good news is we still have GMOs to save us from the artificial pesticides that are killing off a natural system which costs absolutely nothing.

Its actually more complex that just GMO. As this article, http://phys.org/news/2013-04-high-fructose-corn-syrup-tied-worldwide.html,  points out, the honey that we take is now essential to bee health. Taking away the honey and replacing with corn syrup leads to an immune deficiency against mites that are now immune to GMO and pesticides. So its going to turn out that we can't change one thing to make it right, but everything must revert back, probably even leaving more honey in the hive, to make this right.

Richard Orth please read the article ;) There's nothing about GMO in there and it says pesticides probably aren't the problem.

Anyway, I've always held that this wouldn't be a simple problem and would be more like The Incredible Shrinking Woman where various "harmless" things band together to cause something that wasn't expected. In fact that's my theory on cancer too.... but I'm not a doctor so don't take my word on it.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
